4.4 Drive and park the setup vehicle correctly
Park the vehicle on the trigger line. Make sure that the vehicle is parked aimed in the same direction
as the average driver would point their car if they were driving through this section of roadway.
4.5 Perform initial lens adjustment and camera aiming
1. Loosen the roll, pan, and tilt bolts on the JAI camera mounting head until each axis can be easily
adjusted by hand but any particular setting will stay in place after you let go. (Slight amount of
friction)
Pan control
2. Power on the setup computer and then start the EN Setup program. Wait approximately 1 minute
for the camera to boot up.
3. Press the "Video Window" button to open the Video Window and then select the camera for
adjustment from the tree-view on the left side of the window. Press the "Live" button in the toolbar
to start rapid image acquisition. "Live" mode disables the flash, so at night use the "Rep. Trigger"
instead.
4. Using the pan, tilt and roll adjustments on the mount, aim the housing at the target vehicle. Adjust
the focus adjustment on the lens to achieve the field of view you desire.
5. Right click on the image and select the "Preview Image" to get a view of the entire image.
Readjust the pan, tilt, roll and focus until satisfied with the field of view.
6. (Optional) Use the measuring box to measure the size of the license plate. Ensure it meets your
requirements.
7.
Lock down all adjustments when done. Double check your field of view to make sure nothing
moved while locking it down.
4.6 LED Ring Light embedded illuminator setup
The LED Ring Light embedded illuminator is primarily used by the Drive5 to provide sufficient light for
the built-in Vehicle Detector (VD) trigger system, so the camera will be able to trigger during night
time when the ambient light is insufficient to light up the vehicles. The LED Ring Light is also utilized
during the daytime to make the retro-reflective license plates stand out when they are in shadow
condition. The brighter license plates will enhance the contrast and the readability leading to higher
ALPR performance.
